OK, whats different about the Badger, than any other hide? Not much all I am doing is pointing out to you any North American Specie can be done in the Auto-tanner, even hides that are a bit rounchie and green. I have ran mine A-T on several African hides, but prefer a good wet tan.
Average deer cape wieghs about 5 lbs uses 16 ounces of tanning crystal. I would run 1 1/2 gallons of water to 6 ounces of the T-C. for the Badger, running for a hour and check it, maybe flesh at this timeRun it for another hour.
Thanks John C i will give it a try
